Our week vacation consisted of five days at the Hotel Del Coronado followed by three nights living like a local. While the resort was fabulous this condo was equally so but for different reasons. It allowed us a glimpse into the lives of those living in San Diago. The views of the airport and bay were fascinating, the condo extremely comfortable and the ease of visiting local attractions gave the entire experience an A*!!! Thank you for the memories!!!

We had a wonderful time in San diego thanks to the comfort and convenience of our vacation rental. It was so comfortable and every detail was paid attention to.

This rental is close to everything, including the airport! In fact, its a wonderful perspective to sit on the back balcony overlooking the airport and the bay, and watch the planes take off in the morning.

Thank you again for a lovely stay...I would highly recommend this particular vacation rental and will for sure stay again!

Great stay. We loved watching all the airplanes and the harbour view. The condo was comfortable and had everything we needed. The walkway over the freeway made it easy to get to the green trolley line. We used the trolley and buses which took us every place we wanted to go. We loved our stay in San Diego.

Stayed here for 3 nights. Everything was clean, and they even have an app and a concierge with everything you will need for the stay. Minutes walk to Little Italy section of San-Diego. Uber's are really cheap and always available within minutes as well. Everything was thought of in this home. The owners are really on top of their stuff. I usually stay in upper end hotels, I felt right at home here. This rental, or any other "Rental With a View's" rentals should be at the top of your list when visiting San-Diego.

“Extremely dirty, one block from 10-lane freeway and the airport; not at all as described”

This property, described in glowing terms online, was a huge disappointment. The bedroom carpet was filthy as was the master bathroom tile floor. The windows were so dirty, inside and out, that we could barely see through them. But opening the sliding doors onto the patio was impossible, given the tremendous noise from jets leaving and landing at the San Diego International airport literally 1/4 mile away. And just in front of the airport runway was Interstate 5, a 10-lane freeway. To open a window or door was to inhale both auto exhaust and jet exhaust. It was impossible to walk to any of the area attractions since that neighborhood is more hilly than San Francisco, and everything was much further away than described. The walk to the trolley station required using a freeway overpass populated by vagrants and their very visible excrement and trash. We left a day early, despite having paid over $300 per day. It was just too dirty to cope with.

Dear Reader, this is Daniel, cofounder of Rental With A View, the parent company of the subject property about which this review was written.

As any owner will attest, once you're in this business long enough, you are bound to encounter those occasional guests for whom simply nothing is good enough.

A few notes about the property:

1) We have nearly 100 reviews on HomeAway and TripAdvisor combined, with an average rating of 4.9 2) The most recent review is from just several weeks ago, in which the guests refute exactly what the guests below are complaining about. From their review:

"You can't beat the location with its proximity to everything. The property was in excellent shape and it had all the amenities we could ask for. Within walking distance from a trolley station so it's easy to go downtown to the Gas Lamp area, Petco Park, and the Conv. center.

3) Please read our other reviews... they all point in the same direction. 4) This specific property is so memorable where, that it was even featured in a recent Travel Channel special on visiting San Diego (visit rentalwithaview dot com to watch it)

With regard to their specific complaints:1) The bedroom carpet has normal "wear and tear", and IT IS cleaned approx. once a quarter. 2) The guests arrived the day after the worst torrential rainstorms in recent memory, and the unit had already been cleaned by our cleaning crew... yes, the windows were a little spotty, but their account that "we could barely see through them" is not true. I was there. 3) With regard to the master bathroom tile floor, they never made mention of that when I was there, and I would have gladly sent our cleaning team back over to remedy that. 4) Their complaints about the "airport view" are what most people love the BEST about this property. You can look out over the ocean while planes land in the foreground. If you look at the property on a map you'll see that its located in a beautiful, densely populated urban area.... anyone who lives near downtown hears planes and traffic. That's how the city is setup. As many other guest reviews allude, you can't hear the noise inside the unit at all. 5) Regarding the walking distances, you don't have to be an athlete to get to many interesting places. We lived in this home for 5 years and walked everywhere with 2 baby strollers. These guests were elderly, and its unfortunate that the hills were too much for them, but they could have read any of the reviews that discuss this matter.

Bottom line is these guests were crabby and negative from the outset. We've had over 300 check-ins at this property, and have never received anything less than 4 stars (check our reviews on HA and TA).

We're sorry they didn't enjoy their stay, but as our other reviews suggest, they are in the vast minority.
